You're kidding me, brighthound8... absolute amateur hour.

Hold on a second—it’s not like we’re out of the running anymore.🤔

Once written off, you're always written off... F*** OFF. 🤣

Maybe even a podium!?
If briskhound76 pulls it off—assuming a wildcard comes in or someone else just completely blows their race strategy—it's possible. Those guys were great in Monaco, even if everyone's writing them off now.

Someone should just start a new thread for this!
😁

Posting the results might actually be a decent move. 🍿
Fine. I'll open one up later—just move them over then. No hard feelings.

briskhound76 said:So does that mean if someone puts in 5... I can just follow along and put in another 5? 😁

Yeah. Just don't get carried away and end up broke. Right now, points are what matter—since podium predictions are still being tallied and anything can happen at the river.

Once this round wraps up, I'll open things up to see who actually picked the winner. If you sent your prediction via DM, you're set; everyone else will go by the official championship picks.

Just stay chill. Things are getting wild! 👍

👍 just chilling, waiting on coastaldrifter6. Tyler Bennett5 raised by $3, Adam Chase41 was following... just a reminder that the max raise is $5, and the pot is where the real points are at.

The game is starting—buy-in is $12 for now. Three more people can jump in, and everyone still has about $98 left. Based on how things look, we can either push forward or hike up the stakes until the round wraps up. Let’s take it easy; I've got you guys covered.

I’m about to deal some poker, just like I promised. Anyone from the championship can jump in. Max 8 players at the table—I'll be the dealer.

Basically, just copy over that part of the Spanish forecast regarding the sprint and the main race.

Let's get a game going. I sent the last card to unknown. Some people sent me their race predictions, others didn't. The point is, everyone's welcome to play because those who haven't sent them yet will just be playing off their official championship forecasts.

It’s honestly driving me crazy... just copy the sprint and main race info and you'll get your chips.

Terry Carter2 said:Guys, this isn't good—I've gone and had too many drinks again!
The results will look better once I sober up.
😁

Just take it easy, Terry... slow and steady wins the race!
Last year I was riding high just like darkmarlin16, then I completely burned out three races before the end. 😁

darkmarlin16, man, you're untouchable!
We're having an incredible season. Come on, let's get some more podiums. WHERE IS BOB THE BUILDER? THIS JOB WAS MADE FOR HIM. It’s got elements of pure fantasy and there are only three left. 🤣

Just to be clear—this isn't some wild guess or a prediction of exact finishing spots...

As precise as I could get

1. darkmarlin16 40
2. briskhound76 39
3. Tyler Bennett5 and swifttiger75 37
5. unknown 35

swifttiger75 said:Roughly speaking...

3. unknown

Approximately—everything is within 2 or 3 points, so one correct spot changes everything. I didn't dig through any joker predictions.

Just noting this is without joker predictions or exact positions...

darkmarlin16 said:let's see those preliminary results

Roughly speaking...
1. darkmarlin16
2. briskhound76
3. unknown

It's all within about 2-3 points—one single correct position changes everything. I didn't bother digging through the joker predictions.

I just finished my rounds! Just send over the first three people who want in, plus anyone else looking to take a shot at it. As for the rest—forget it. Let's just chill 🤣

We're playing F1 poker.
Here’s the table lineup for now...

swifttiger75, Adam Chase41... basically in the order you signed up—the last 8 players are also our 8th sign-ups.

Cards are dealt based on the championship standings.

Pole Position and Fastest Lap are the two open cards. Everyone sees them via your predictions.
>>DM me your top three ranking for Pole Position; it can be the same as your initial prediction. Those are your three hole cards.

As the dealer, I'll pick one more position from the standings—let's call that the river.
>>Only I know which position it is, and that card is revealed last. For transparency, I'll DM it to one player, who'll get a slight edge by knowing it early.

We play Sunday night around 9 PM once everyone's online.

Scoring is straightforward.
One point for every exact position hit.
Bonus point for every driver within a specific group. Group 1 is PP and FL. Group 2 is the Podium. Group 3 is my river pick (e.g., 7th place).

The round kicks off when I DM the river.
Everything starts from there—standard poker rules apply.
We're starting with a hundred bucks each.
Blinds are $2, max raise is $5 per turn.
All-ins are allowed.
When the first round ends, I reveal the top three rankings you sent me via DM.
Second round, I reveal 1st place.
Third round, 2nd place.
Fourth round, 3rd place.
After the fourth round closes, I flip the river and declare the winner of the pot.
The winner is whoever holds the most points.

More info coming tomorrow.
I'll have my bottle of wine ready.

Don't spam this thread with questions—I'll guide you through it. You know enough for now. 😁

Adam Chase41 said:always about the fun 🙂, right? what else is there?

That's that. For now... 👍

Seven to go! 😁

Come on, give me the standings... :claps:
